MERGED: Urinary Tract Infection

[love2travel]

Cranberry is a traditional American herbal supplement used for the prevention of urinary tract infection.
The recommended dosing for UTI prophylaxis is based on the most recent positive randomized controlled trial that used one tablet of concentrated cranberry extract (300 to 400 mg) twice daily, or 8 oz of pure unsweetened cranberry juice three times daily.

Cranberry appears to be a safe, herbal choice for UTI prevention and has relatively good tolerability. The most recent studies have found that the use of cranberry for up to 12 months is safe and moderately effective. More evidence is necessary to recommend its use for clinical indications other than UTI prophylaxis. Care should be taken when recommending cranberry for long-term use in patients who are known urinary oxalate stone formers. No significant herb-drug reactions with cranberry have been reported.

@epson... mo-work ra ni siya kung fungal ang cause sa infection

[Dorothea]

In the US (ambot kung naa pud ni sa Pinas) there is a test kit you can do at home that will tell you if you have a yeast infection, or a bacterial infection. Very common man gud pud ning bacterial vaginosis, and it can be mistaken for a yeast infection. So, even if you take diflucan or do the OTC meds for yeast like Monistat, dili gihapon mo effect. You need antibiotics for this.

@dorothea: that's right, it's best to know the correct diagnosis (bacterial? or fungal?) so that you can get the ideal treatment :mrgreen:

simple urinalysis lang tingali makit-an na ang UTI...no need for pap smear....tag 40PHP ra sad ang urinalysis sa High Precision i think

[love2travel]

bitaw, urinalysis ra ang kinahanglan if you're trying to find out if you have urinary tract infection or not...
ang pap semar is more of a screening test for cervical cancer

Don't use often bathroom tissue as it is the one factor that can cause UTI
